Lots of good information and advice has been offered. Realize that any addition time and miles you add to your trip are more time and miles to encounter snow. It’s a Catch 22.

So, let’s assume that no matter what you do, you’ll be driving through some wintry mix somewhere. Be prepared.

Make sure to take along an extra bottle of windshield washer fluid! If you need it, you’ll be glad you did!

Also load a travel app on your phone. I use iExit which shows what’s available at every exit along with Hotel contact information.

Of course, make sure your car and tires are up to the trip.
